Yes it was and he didn't have too much control in either match.
I wonder if it will be formality or favouritism will decide the 3 penalised players fate? Only time will tell. I wonder with Toronto being a new developing club, if the well developed players get a caution for their conduct.
On a more positive note, fantastic result and well done Barrow rlfc on another victory. Any team in this league is a potential banana skin for Barrow so credit where credit's due.

I too watched the TWP V Oxford and I think the RFL judiciary are going to be very busy in the coming weeks.
I think at one point Toronto were down to 10 men and Oxford had 12.
Emmett had a serious rush of blood to the head whilst being yellow carded. He didn't leave the field and start fighting which resulted in other players being sin binned. It will be interesting what punishment they will receive.

I watched the Whitehaven V Toronto game in what was a quagmire of a pitch. Biased as it sounds but I am quietly confident that Barrow will give Toronto a serious run for their money.
Whitehaven stuck in well for the first 30 mins and with some very dubious forward passing from Toronto, they capitalised before the break. It was a pretty neck and neck throughout the break but conditions slowed the game down.
Whitehaven did manage to get over the whitewash a couple of times in what was a war of nutrition.

Not a bad game. I think Coventry will upset a few sides this year as they brought Barrow to their level.
Slow play the balls killed Barrows attack and they had a pretty decent defence. Their attack was decent in areas but often knocked on in vital plays.
But a win is a win. A youth lads are coming on well.
Roll on Keighley!!

To be brutally honest the score could of been a lot worse. After half time, the Whitehaven coach must of give his charges a bollocking as they came out and played with a bit of fire in their bellies and were more entaining in the second half.
Barrow took their foot off the peddle and fielded some of the youth players, who did Barrow some credit and played well.
I think the score line was justifiable.
